2015 Land Rover Defender 2.2L Diesel · WJ65 MAY

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having achieved a clean pass during its most recent inspection. The MOT test conducted on 16 December 2025 at 68,630 miles showed no recorded defects or advisories, which follows a successful pass in December 2024. This indicates an improving trend in maintenance, as the minor faults identified in previous years have been addressed and rectified to meet legal standards. The mileage pattern is consistent with the vehicle's age-year age, averaging approximately 6,200 miles per year. Between the December 2023 test at 57,161 miles and the December 2024 test at 63,267 miles, the Defender covered roughly 6,000 miles. This steady, low annual usage suggests light-duty operation, which typically reduces mechanical strain on the drivetrain and engine, though it can occasionally lead to seal-related issues if the vehicle sits stationary for extended periods. A buyer should perform a thorough physical inspection of the offside front seat belt, which was flagged for fraying in late 2023, to ensure the replacement was of high quality. While the failure of the windscreen washer pump and position lamps in 2024 were minor electrical and fluid issues, the buyer should verify the entire lighting circuit for further intermittent faults. Given the vehicle's age, the primary focus should remain on the structural integrity of the chassis and the condition of the suspension components, as these are not highlighted in the recent clean records but are critical to this model's longevity.
